Gage Block Stack for 150.123 mm
Gage block stacks › 150.123 mm
Fewest-block stack, 88-piece metric set
100 + 40 + 8 + 1.12 + 1.003 = 150.123 mm
5 blocks. Checked: the block sizes add up to exactly 150.123 mm.
This is the stack for a 150.123 mm gage block height, worked for the 88-piece metric set (and checked against the 112-piece set). For reference, 150.123 mm is about 5.91035 in.
Step by step
Add the blocks from the finest increment to the thickest. After each block the "left to build" column shows what the remaining blocks must make up; it reaches 0 on the last block.
| Block added | Stack height | Left to build |
|---|---|---|
| 1.003 | 1.003 | 149.120 |
| 1.12 | 2.123 | 148.000 |
| 8 | 10.123 | 140.000 |
| 40 | 50.123 | 100.000 |
| 100 | 150.123 | 0.000 |
Other stacks for 150.123 mm (88-piece metric set)
- 90 + 50 + 8 + 1.12 + 1.003 (5 blocks)
- 80 + 60 + 8 + 1.12 + 1.003 (5 blocks)
- 100 + 40 + 7.5 + 1.12 + 1.003 + 0.5 (6 blocks)
More blocks means more wrung joints, so the shortest stack above is the one to prefer. These alternates help if a block in your set is missing or worn.
The same size in a 112-piece metric set
With the 112-piece metric set the fewest-block stack is 100 + 25 + 23 + 1.12 + 1.003 = 150.123 mm, 5 blocks, which is the same number of blocks than the 88-piece metric stack.
How to use this stack
- Pull the 5 blocks listed from your 88-piece metric set and check the sizes marked on each one.
- Wring the thickest blocks together first and add the thinner ones last. See how to wring gage blocks.
- Let the stack and the part reach the same temperature before measuring (temperature correction).
